Gordon is such a menace, must be a nightmare to play against.

Looking well up for it now

The Ice man is back baby

Offside check I'm thinking but what a pass from Miley

Goal? Isak!

I'm fully expecting a Bruno red card today.

Just get through this unscathed and play Karius and Gillespie in outfield on Tuesday. Create CL history

What are the odds we lose another couple of players today

Willock and Longstaff? Ffs man we shouldn't even travel to Paris I think.

Never gotten a Castore shirt. What's the sizes like? I'm usually a US large with Adidas etc.

This is a fixture we've always done well in even when they were near unstoppable in the first Mourinho era. Not feeling too confident right now with the injuries etc. Isak starting and perhaps Barnes on the bench will help a lot. I sincerely hope the don't risk them unless 100 percent fit though, especially Isak.

I hope at some point the club compiles a dossier of the anti competition moves made by the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool during and after the takeover to take some sort of legal action. Even if its just to underline to everyone that the sad, cowardly, priveleged c**nts are trying to run a closed shop.

Gemmill at the petrol station: "Deduct negative 10 liters to the tank please. And I hope I wont have to explain BASIC MATHS here".

I think they must have anticipated this, especially with what happened during the takeover. They've clearly decided to play the long term game, knowing full well that with the potential the club has it will eventually become a self sustained behemoth if the correct structure is put in place. What Howe's managed to do with the squad years ahead of anyone wildest expectations must have left the cartel absolutely seething. You can see it in the vile poison the likes of Klopp, Arteta and Ten Hag spit. They're absolutely scrambling to try and put the brakes on. Little good it will do. I think if something very clearly anti competitive happens we could see the club take legal action, but the focus will remain on laying the foundations for the inevitable success that is coming.

Aye what a monumental bellend that man is. Everyone's disappointed but no one can fault the effort from the players. It's been a brilliant season and these lads have worked their socks off. If you look at it as a whole over the last few weeks, we've done so well to stay in the CL, the league cup and a good position in the league all the whilst dealing with an injury crisis in the first season at this elite level for this squad, many of whom have never been in this position before. Not to mention we've drawn basically the most difficult opponents at every opportunity. Massive respect for Eddie and the team for remaining in a competitive position in all competitions through all of that. These are the motions we have to go through, over the next couple of years there will be more days like this as we become used to the rigours at this level and the squad expands and adapts. And don't forget this is all happening years ahead of schedule, and with the league and other big clubs doing seemingly all they can at every turn to stop it.

I understand this sort of game was on the cards given the circumstances I'm just disappointed with the performance on the day. I'm not saying we should be blasting them away. It's still only November, we're playing a very shite side that could easily have had 4 or 5 today. Just put this aside get the rest needed over the next 2 weeks and hope to hell a few players get back.

With the players out there we still should be giving a much better account of ourselves. The contributions from Joelinton Willock etc not nearly good enough and they've not played a lot. Obviously we're having terrible luck, no denying that. But it's felt to me today that we've gone into this game feeling sorry for ourselves.

Joelinton having a proper Steve Bruce game

Circumstances and all but they need a bollocking after this. Not nearly good enough. Looks like we've felt sorry for ourselves from the start and just not had a go

There you go. This is embarrassing

They've all been utter gash. Joe Willock Trippier longy.

At some point you've got to ask what we're doing here. Bad luck small squad and all but wtf are we doing wrong here with players falling all over the place? We're not the first team to play in the CL ffs

Parkinson on. Desperate times
